The project has been funded by an #8,000 study support grant from the Government's standards fund to help children access the curriculum through out-of-school activities.

The event is being held at the Education Business Partnership Centre at the Jaguar plant in Brown's Lane.

Its aim is to improve links between the two schools and help develop the personal and social skills of the children.

The project will also help year six pupils from Aldermoor Farm Primary who may be concerned about the move up to secondary school.

Youngsters from year seven at Ernesford Grange will be able to share their experience of secondary school, which, it is hoped, will have a positive effect on their self-esteem.

Morning sessions of the project will revolve around literacy and numeracy, based on skills that can be extended to use outside the classroom - such as the impact of bullying and the use of money.

Afternoon activities have been designed and will be delivered by Jaguar Education Business Partnership staff and include making items from leather, visiting areas of the factory and developing IT skills.

Marie Dallas, Coventry Education Authority's advisory teacher for study support, came up with the idea for the project.

She said: "I hope that this project is the start of a programme of work involving other schools around the city.

"We have been monitoring and evaluating the project during the week to ensure that the adults learn as much from the experience as the children."

All pupils taking part in the scheme will be awarded certificates tomorrow to mark their achievements.
